[android] inital thoughts

[Davide Scaini]

I tried the beta2 release... I found it better than the previous one, but
needs still a lot of work to do. Lots of crashes of the apps... and the same
problems you mentioned:
- low call volume
- unreliable wifiscan (but i managed to do it 3 times succesfully, the real
bug is that you can't type with the keyboard because the popup menu is
placed a layer over ;-) )
- crashes

..but... very nice!
Hoping to have some improvements soon ;-)
